Accepting people for who they are and accepting the cycle of life as one that is ever changing is something we all must do in order to stay sane. And it is something I am willing to do. For myself. For others. and for life.

thinking positively creates positive energy. in turn one's positive energy will contribute towards positive results. We cannot let fear hold us back from accomplishing what is rightfully ours. It is okay to be afraid, but when we let fear and judgment of ourselves and others take control, we hold ourselves back in doing amazing things.

It is okay to be afraid. It is not okay to let the fear hold you back from accomplishing great and wonderful things. Lucy MacDonald

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face... The danger lies in refusing to face the fear, in not daring to come to grips with it... You must make yourself succeed every time. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.Eleanor Roosevelt

What do you do when you know how to save the other person, but if you do save them, it could ultimately destroy you? But then what if, by saving this person, it creates a stronger bond between the two of you? I think that's called selfishness. sigh..

smile though your heart is aching,smile even though it's breaking,when there are clouds in the sky you'll get by,if you smile through your fears and sorrow,smile and may be tomorrow,you'll see the sun come shining through for you

light up your face with gladness hide every trace of sadnessalthough a tear may be ever so nearthat's the time you must keep on tryingsmile, what's the use of cryingyou'll find that life is still worth while if you just... smile. ..

What does it mean to be afraid? To fear for the future and where your life is at this moment? Does it takes away from who you are as a person? Or is it just a speed bump in the road of life? I can't seem to think that fear keeps us from truly experiencing life. That when we are afraid of the future because what we have experienced in the past, we cannot truly take advantage of the present. And that right now, the present, is preparing us for the future. And what does that mean for the people around us? Do we leave the people we care about behind because we are too afraid of our own greatness? Too afraid that life will prove us right in our fears and disappoint once again? Or do we take what we have learned in the past and use it as fuel to face our fears because we know inside that everything will turn out the way it should; that each experience, good, bad, or otherwise, is a preparation for something greater to come along and that we must embrace it and take it with us in the future. It should not keep us from experiencing greatness and moving forward.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt
